Almoooost there... Over the top!

Does anyone else watch the hit counter over there on the right side? It's creeping towards the 10,000 mark.

That astounds me.

UPDATE: Visit 10,000 hails from Pennsylvania:

Nice to know people read this stuff, and I'd like to thank each and every one of you for contributing to the attainment of this completely arbitrary and meaningless goal. At the current pace, we should hit the 50,000 mark in 56.625 months, so stay tuned!

Quotes

You love a lot of things if you live around them, but there isn’t any woman and there isn’t any horse, nor any before nor any after, that is as lovely as a great airplane, and men who love them are faithful to them even though they leave them for others.

— Ernest Hemingway

I’ll run my hand gently over the wing of a small airplane and say to him, “This plane can teach you more things and give you more gifts than I ever could. It won’t get you a better job, a faster car, or a bigger house. But if you treat it with respect and keep your eyes open, it may remind you of some things you used to know — that life is in the moment, joy matters more than money, the world is a beautiful place, and that dreams really, truly are possible.” And then, because airplanes speak in a language beyond words, I’ll take him up in the evening summer sky and let the airplane show him what I mean.

— Lane Wallace

Experience keeps a dear school, but fools will learn in no other.

— Benjamin Franklin

A good way to rid one's self of a sense of discomfort is to do something. That uneasy, dissatisfied feeling is actual force vibrating out of order; it may be turned to practical account by giving proper expression to its creative character.

— William Morris

And once you have tasted flight, you will walk the Earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been and there you long to return.
